in the future.
Gen. U. S. Grant Camp, No. s. Of Philadel-
phia, is in a fourishing condition, and its
prosperity is due to the active membership of
this Camp, who are interested in the welfare of
the Order as well as the Camp, and they have
shown their interest by their punctual attend
ance, their energy in the working of the Camp,
and encouragcments shown toward their Off
GERS. / think those members deserve credit
for the manner in which they have placed
Camp No. on the solid basis which to-day it
stands. They have my best wishes for future
success.

The inspection of the Camps in the Eastern

Not Opened.

The bill opening to settlement No
Man's-Land, the neutral strip south of
Kansas and Colorado, passed both
houses of congress, but for want of
time, did not receive the approval of
the president. Nothing, then, can be
done in the matter of surveying this
land into sections and quarter sections
until The next congress has passed an
other bill requiring it to be done. Al
ready, the strip has been surveyed into
townships, and from corners thus es-
tablished, it will be no difficult matter
to ascertain the correct lines of the
subdivisions.
The bill as passed by both houses
provided for attaching the Neutral
Strip to the Garden City land district.
An amendment had been made in the
senate making seperate land district
Of 1t and three counties in Kansas: but
these amendments were receded from,
on the day before adjournment at the
instance of Senator Plumb, who, with
Congressman Peters saw that there
would not be time for a conference
committee TO agree on Che amendment.
For some reason, not yet explained.

cotton cu,turs

Henry burst returned Saturday from
Chautauqua and Montgomery counties,
where he went TO purchase cotton seed
to be planted in Barber county, this
season. He states that three times the
amount of cotton will be raised over
there this season that WAS raised last
year, and fOf tltat reason and because
many stocSmen had bought up cotton
seed for feed. he could not get as much
as he desired. However, he purchased
about so bushels which will be here by
Saturday. Mr.. burst thinks that the
demand for seed would not be supplied
with even so bushels more. and so he
advises those who are anxious to plant
to come in early and be supplied, so
that it will be known how much seed it
is necessary to order from Alabama, or
some other cotton state.
Mr.. burst found that the colored peo-
pie were the principal cotton raisers in
the eastern part of the state heretofore,
and they have followed the old style of
cultivation, gathering and preparing
for market. Only the poor and rocky
upland was used and yet the crop aver
aged three-fourths of bale per acre.
The rich, bottom land was planted in
corn and wheat, and owing to the dry
weather, corn was rather failure du-
ring the past two seasons. At Elk
Falls, Sedan and Peru, the farmers re-
allied IS cents for corn. Since the col
ored people did SO much better with
cotton, the white people are also pre-
pairing to engage in cotton raising, and
three times the quantity will be raised
this year that was raised last season.
All persons interested in the new In
dustry are requested to be at Judge D.
A. McCanless' Office Saturday, next at
O'Clock.

Sun City Booming.

d. Cornue was down from Sun City
Monday, and reported that place on a
big boom. He says that more than fifty
town lots have changed hands since the
railroad bonds were voted. He further
said that arrangements are being made
to build at once a brick block, l0Oxl25
feet, two stories high. Several other
business houses and good residences are
also in contemplation.
Sam. Holloway and man from Paw.
nee Rock are getting ready to make
several million brick. Within the past
ten days nineteen men from Barton
county have moved into the north part
of Sun City township, and while all will
take claims, they will practically be
residents of the town.
Another big scheme on the part of
Sun City is to tap Turkey creek above
the town, about the Pierce place. and,
by carrying the water through a canal,
get sufficient fall at the town to war
rant the establishment of an extensive
Touring mill. Other enterprises Mr..
Cornue mentioned, which we will not
report here, for fear of making the "old
fogies" of-of Medicine Lodge sick.
